Through adversities we'll conquer.
Blaze into the stars, A trail of glory,
We'll live on land and sea 'Til victory is won.
Men in blue the skies are winging.
In each heart one thought is ringing.
Fight for the right, God is our might,
We shall be free !

Quote of the week

The RAF was a comparatively tightly organised, high tech force, by and large with more modern equipment and operational command techniques than the Navy, and more so the Army. One consequence was that they were able to collate and distill information fast for their own purposes.

The upshot was that they had more up to date PR to hand on a regular basis.

`Passport to Pimlico` or “Would you Adam and Eve it !”

Our links to Operatives section this week highlights that contributor to all things `undermission` - Mr `what shall I call myself this week` Ian/Adrian Farmer/Radford* (delete as applicable) who has opened up a school for following people.

You will recall Ian/Adrian a former (very) junior Sergeant in the Intelligence Corps was mentioned in a previous post as fond of dressing up as a dog – allegedly he was in fact auditioning for the role of `Nana` in a forthcoming `Peter Pan` panto !

Ian/Adrian and a motley crew from `Black Chrysalis` will teach – practically anybody it seems – the art of surveillance. The school will be using specialist military `coded` methodology ! Presumably this method was originated by egg laying vertebrates down in a market town in the Garden of England and subsequently stolen - or could that be reinvented?

Surveillance and Counter Terrorism ! Skills that Ian/Adrian is significantly experienced in - or so he claims himself ! However, I am informed by former real instructors and operationally experienced colleagues his Army Red Book would tell a different story !

“Talks a good Op” was the more eloquent statement that is publishable !

"Many a callsign await with excited anticipation his autobiography"

Obviously Ian/Adrian would not be so stupid as to use any actual codes ( I have seen some from my colleagues from the island joint unit) as this could possibly be construed as against the OSA. However, as the new training establishments name suggests, and keeping with the `coded method`, could users of the Capitals underground/buses and general pavement treading throngs soon be hearing the following (with brevity) whispered discreetly into collars:

A for Horses,B for MuttonC for Miles (or Seaforth Highlanders)D for Kate (or D fer Ential)E for BrickF for Lump (or F fer Vescence)G for Police (or G for Get It)H for Consent (or H for Bless You)I for Novello (or I for the Engine)J for Nice Time (or J for Oranges)K for RestaurantL for LeatherM for Cream (or M for Sis)N for LopeO for the Wings of a Dove (O for the Rainbow)P for ReliefQ for the LoosR for MoS for you, you can take a hike (or S for Rantzen)T for Gums (or T for Two)U for Me (or U for Mism)V for EspanaW for a Quid (or W for the Winnings)X for BreakfastY for MistressZee for Moiles (or Z for Wind)
